insurance coverage
We accept most major insurances including Medicare and Medicaid. Unfortunately, CareOregon, Kaiser HMO, and Legacy HMO plans currently do not cover care at our clinic.
Because of the the many, and ever-changing plan options, we can best answer your insurance coverage questions individually. Please contact us so we can help you with this. We are often able to offer comparable rates, even if we are an out of network provider.
We also offer Wellness visits for those who would like treatment without insurance coverage. This may be appropriate for those without insurance, with high deductibles, or who want care that falls outside of what insurance will cover. The initial visit is $150 and subsequent visits are $125. If this pricing is a barrier to treatment, please ask us about sliding scale options.
Testimonials
“I highly recommend Sound Body Physical Therapy. My therapist was very professional, highly trained, personable and most helpful. I learned more about how my body works and how I can, with PT exercises, mitigate the muscular/skeleton pain I was experiencing. I liked that the therapist was with me during the entire time I was at my appointment and that I was not transferred to another person for exercises. After every appointment I received a brief summary of my exercises for the week. Communication was excellent. It has been reassuring that Sound Body has implemented very thorough Covid safe practices.”
“I worked with Beth for some period of time. She was spectacular. She has my unqualified admiration You cannot go wrong in working with her.”
“Dorothy and Katie are two of the finest physical therapy doctors around! I entered their care with a broken body; I now feel well. Thanks to their skilled intervention, pain no longer imprisons me. I am stronger and more flexible. I am encouraged.”
“Beth gave me the opportunity to regain both physical and emotional strength by being a therapist who pushed just enough to make me see that the hard work was making a difference. She helps me to be brave even though our sessions are over and we’re thousands of miles away from each other. I still do the exercises she taught me!”
“I’ve been a little wary of seeing a physical therapist because I honestly didn’t know why – but yesterday, I had an AMAZING appointment with Beth. I haven’t had an injury in over 10 years, but I have been having some difficulty getting muscle groups to engage in my yoga practice. She walked me through a ton of different exercises so that we could figure out which muscle groups were weak for me and she gave me a month-long plan to tonify my left hamstring and some of the smaller core muscles in my pelvis. She then did some myofascial release on my shoulders with a smooth metal tool. I left feeling great and having a better understanding of my body, so I’m stoked and wanting to share! Their office is also BEAUTIFUL! ”
